DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• How To Design A Solution For A Temporary Water Or Vapor Treatment Project

  The key to a successful water treatment or vapor extraction project is to understand the elements that can impact the treatment process, as well dispelling key myths about temporary treatment systems.

• How Does Operation And Maintenance Of Activated Carbon Compare To Ion Exchange Technology?

  Water treatment plants (WTPs) that deciding between ion exchange (IX) or granular activated carbon (GAC) systems should weigh the operation and maintenance of each before implementing either technology.

• Shedding Light On Buried Infrastructure Management

  A longstanding U.S. EPA document on management challenges and strategies relating to the deterioration of buried drinking water infrastructure raises issues that are still very relevant today. Here are multiple thought-provoking perspectives on how to address those issues today, in order to protect both the investment in existing infrastructure and the health of the populations they serve.

• Central California Winery Removes 1,2,3-TCP From Well Water Using Granular Activated Carbon

  North of Fresno in the San Joaquin Valley of California, a winery detected elevated levels of 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) in the water coming from its two main wells. A chlorinated hydrocarbon, 1,2,3- TCP is a chemical associated with old pesticide practices (particularly soil fumigants) and is a suspected human carcinogen.

• A Pandemic Of Another Kind: Addressing The Issues Of Clean Water Scarcity

  As the coronavirus pandemic in some form continues to move across the world, health professionals are continually reminding us to exercise good hygiene and keep our hands clean. Easy enough, if you have access to a clean source of water. However, according to the USA Water Alliance, there are more than three million people presently that are without a dependable source of safe drinking water in the US. Around the world, this is also a bigger issue, as many people lack access to a source of safe drinking water to maintain their hygiene. Ongoing developments to ensure global water security, as well as provisions for wastewater sanitation services to avoid polluting water sources have been slowly adopted. Droughts and water scarcity have become issues that we are dealing with in the US and around the world.

• Achieving Level Pressure At Challenging Points In Distribution Systems

  When drinking water leaves a treatment plant through giant pipes, with the help of huge pumps, the pressure can exceed 200 psi. The high pressure is a necessity because water must travel a long distance in some cases. Water towers scattered throughout the distribution system aid in the process so it can reach all utility customers. The problem is that not all distribution points in a water system are created equal.

• AMI Solution Enhances Efficiency And Boosts Customer Engagement

• Making Every Drop Count During Drought And Fire Season

  In 2020, the world got a firsthand glimpse into how warmer, drier conditions are enabling harsher periods of drought--resulting in longer fire seasons and greater water scarcity. 

• How To Calculate Chlorine Demand When Treating Iron & Manganese With Solid Manganese Dioxide

  Most treatment systems for removing iron and manganese from groundwater sources use chlorine, oxygen or various other chemicals to oxidize the clear state of iron and manganese to an oxidized or solid form so the particles can then be filtered out. If complete oxidation occurs and if the oxidized floc is of suitable condition, a filtration system consisting of filter sand and anthracite is used.
